3rd person's POV
"What if I'm dating someone from the Jeons?" Hyunjin asked. Yerim, Hyeju, Jiwoo and Jungeun looks at her as well as Soojin and Ryujin who's also inside Hyeju's room.
'There's no way she's gonna tell them right now' Ryujin said in her mind.
"I thought you're not interested in love?" Hyeju spoke, carefully sitting up from her laying position.
"I'm just asking 'what if'" Hyunjin emphasizes the 'what if' as she side-eyed Yerim.
"It's fine" Jiwoo said, chewing gummy bears.
"I mean it's love, my dear cousin. Not because their from the Jeons, you're not allowed to love them. Love is love no matter what" she added
"Jiwoo's right, we shouldn't care about the war our parents started. They can fight for how long they want and we'll stay out of it" Jungeun said, flipping through a magazine.
"Why? Are you really dating someone from the Jeons?" Jungeun asked, lifting her gaze to met Hyunjin's eyes.
"No, I'm just wondering" Hyunjin said and gave Yerim a wink, making the latter smile.
It's fine to them. Yerim's chest feels lighter now. Knowing that they don't mind her dating someone from the enemy group.

"You're telling me that you're dating this gremlin right here?" Hyeju said pointing at Yeojin.
"Who you calling gremlin, huh?" Yeojin said
"Chill, chihuahua" Hyeju said and bring her gaze back to Yerim.
"Yes, I'm dating her and she's not a gremlin nor a chihuahua, Tres" Yerim said, rubbing Yeojin's back.
"Uno, are you hearing this?- Hey, what are you doing?" Hyeju looks at Hyunjin who's looking at the cup noodles that Sooyoung is preparing.
"Tres, this girl is telling me that you can eat this thing by just pouring hot water in it and wait for three minutes" Hyunjin said, turning to Hyeju.
"Is that even possible?" Hyeju asked, walking towards Hyunjin, quickly forgetting about the topic she's having with Yerim. It's been a week and the two are still recovering, but now they're feeling better. They're now discussing over Yerim and Yeojin's relationship.
"Seriously, you guys haven't heard of instant noodles?" Kahei asked and the three shakes their head.
"What world are you guys living? I'm literally living by eating instant foods" Jinsol said
"So, rich people doesn't know what a cup noodles is?" Chaewon mumbled and look at Heejin who avoided eye contact with her.
"Heej, you don't know cup noodles is too?" she asked
"I know about them. Saw them in some dramas, but I haven't tried them" Heejin answered
"Can I have some?" Hyunjin asked pointing Sooyoung's food.
"Yeah, okay" Sooyoung said and handed the chopstick to the girl.
Hyunjin take some of the noodles and put it inside her mouth. Her sisters are watching her closely.
"Waaaaa" Hyunjin chew on the food and look at her sisters.
"This taste good y'all"
"Really?" Hyunjin nods at Hyeju.
"Let me have some too" Hyeju ate some and fell in love with the taste of the instant ramen. Yerim also ate and the three was amazed of the noodles inside the cup.
"Hey, Ryujin, how come we're friends for so long and you didn't introduce this food to me?" Hyunjin asked while basically slurping all of the noodles.
"Bro, I didn't know that you don't know about convenience store foods" Ryujin said
"Hey, you're finishing it all" Sooyoung said and Hyunjin reached for her wallet and handed Sooyoung some cash.
"I'm buying this thing" she said and Sooyoung, of course, she take the cash, putting it in her pocket securely.
"How about you guys? How long have you guys been dating?" Hyeju asked Ryujin and Heejin.
"About 2 years" Ryujin's answer was based from Heejin and Hyunjin's relationship.
"Ahh that's why Yeji left you, unfaithful bitch" Hyeju said and lay down on the couch.
Ryujin just realized that she was still in a relationship with Yeji 2 years ago. She closes her eyes and admit to herself that she's indeed dumb.
"No, it's not like that" she attempted to redeem herself, but everyone gives her a dirty look.
"She meant 2 months" Heejin said, blowing the dust off her fingertips.
"Oh"
They, specifically Heejin's friends, asked further questions and Hyunjin finished the whole cup, resting her back on the backrest of the single couch she's sitting on while watching the two lie.
She chuckles and cross her legs and arms. This is fun. She thinks.
Watching Ryujin's brain malfunction while Heejin tries to save their cover up is definitely hilarious. Hyunjin had to held in her laugh when she saw how Ryujin is having a hard time.
She stares at the people there one by one, Yerim, Hyeju, Jiwoo, Jungeun, Kahei, Haseul, Sooyoung, Jinsol, Chaewon and Yeojin. They'll probably accept it if she say it now, but she don't think that this is the right time to say it. She kept her silence and let Ryujin suffer from the other girls' questions.
Heejin left to the kitchen to fetch some water and Hyunjin stands up.
"Hey, lil chihuahua, where's the bathroom?" she asked with a mischievous grin.
"I'm not a chihuahua! But anyways it just straight ahead near the kitchen" Yeojin said
"Thanks, not a chihuahua" she run towards the kitchen and sneak behind Heejin, kissing the girl's ear gently.
"Hey" she whispered to Heejin's ear and encircled her arms around the girl's waist from behind.
"You like watching us suffer, huh?" Heejin turns around and peck Hyunjin's lips.
"It's funny" Hyunjin chuckles and kiss Heejin's forehead.
"We shouldn't be doing this here. They might catch us" Heejin said, pushing Hyunjin away.
That action delivered a frown on Hyunjin's face, "You're pushing me away?"
Heejin quickly pulls Hyunjin towards her and hug the girl tightly, not wanting to see her girl sad.
Yerim enters the kitchen and stand still, seeing the two, hugging each other tightly. What the hell is this? She thinks.
She launches herself to Hyunjin, breaking the two apart before the others come. She hugged her sister and put a good distance between them and Heejin.
The others entered the kitchen with the food they ordered and they stares at the two weirdly. Yerim giving Hyunjin smooches all over her face, telling her how adorable she is.
"Stupid. Be careful next time" Yerim whispered before separating herself from Hyunjin.
Hyunjin kept her secret until she decided to tell everyone so she'll do the same for her.
